Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.STOCKS CLOSED higher for the first time in six sessions as international blue chips and hi-tech shares recovered from recent losses. The Nikkei- 225 index rose 117.19 points to close at 17,579.91, following Tuesday's 0.16 per cent drop.
Prices were bolstered by bargain hunting after the Nikkei lost more than 1,000 points over the last five trading sessions. Traders doubted the rally would last. "The gains are not part of a fundamental change in the market. They are merely a recovery in prices during a market correction," said one.
